Anna

This was the first vacation I never wanted to end. But I was also glad to be back with the cats.

Visiting Tower Bridge while melting wasn’t exactly a highlight of this trip, but I’m glad I saw it.

London’s parks are on another level. Ted Lasso didn’t lie about Richmond’s beauty, and Anna surprised me with a Sofar Sounds concert in an old chapel.

We had quite a social day. Notting Hill is unbelievably beautiful.

Big Ben is far prettier than I expected. I thought it would be just a boring old tower, but it’s so detailed!

We arrived in London, and I couldn’t have had a better initial impression. I loved it from the very first second.

We didn’t have a single day with fewer than 20,000 steps, and after a while, it definitely started to show.

I expected to like Edinburgh more than I did. The people were great, but the city just didn’t have the right vibe for me.

What's up with GBP? It feels like fake plastic money!

I later discovered that Waterstones is just the starting point. There are so many incredible bookshops in the UK. What a paradise!

Aaand we're off to the UK. First Glasgow and Edinburgh, then London.

Packing is the worst. I’m not even bad at it, it just isn’t fun. It’s like a puzzle where the result will never be perfect, and you just have to live with the compromises. Especially when you’re flying with only carry-on luggage.

I love city life, great weather, and days where you don’t have a plan and just let things unfold.

It was a cute little day.

My hand felt a bit numb this morning. The doctor said it might be because Millimeter hit a tendon. It got better over the course of the day.

Millimeter sometimes misjudges her strength. She just wanted to tell me to stop petting her, and I didn’t recognize the signs. My bad.

Anna’s moving day is close. We’re still working our way through Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I love how the story picks up in this book. It suddenly gets much more serious and dark.

Home Improvement

It was a slow and cozy day.

It was the Long Night of Museums. You buy one ticket and can visit every museum of the city.

I slept like a baby after this day.

That weird red splotch is from me not noticing my nosebleed quickly enough.

The Döner wasn't even good. Fantastic company, though.

Running became fun again once I stopped winging it and went back to following a plan.

I actually had to go back to the popcorn person and switch mine, because they accidentally gave me salty popcorn too.

Sophisticated Saturday

This marks the end of our little Barcelona adventure.

Our second to last day in Barcelona.

I miss my little Boldu buddy.

Not even the very expensive tickets could lessen my amazement about Sagrada Família.

I'll never enjoy flying. It's against nature and shouldn't be possible.

I kind of messed up the background. Please don't unfollow me because I'm not good enough at art.
